However, by November 2006, Floquet was described as 'confined to bed'.

Famous quotes containing the word war:
“The more prosperous and settled a nation, the more readily it tends to think of war as a regrettable accident; to nations less fortunate the chance of war presents itself as a possible bountiful friend.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
